This morning, I mentioned to CandyMan that I was about to get into the shower and asked if he’d be leaving for work soon. When he said yes, I turned to AJ and said, “When Daddy’s getting ready to leave for work, come upstairs into my room with me, ok?” And then my 3 year [...]

Visit Momlogic I recently joined a fantastic community of bloggers at momlogic, a ning network. Today, the momlogic coffee club has chosen me to be their featured blogger! Not only is it cool to be featured, but momlogic is giving away a Keurig Single-Cup Coffee Maker, plus three months of free coffee every day for [...]

I found this old picture while clearing out my photobucket account to make room for new photos. About 3 years ago, I found Twizzler playing with his action figures in a most unusual way (is he going to kill me someday for posting this??) This is apparently what happens when you’re a boy surrounded by [...]

Yet Another Jay and Deb Production. Last week, when my kids were still recovering from their illnesses, and I was still without a car to drive, I missed a shower for a friend. This was not the typical baby shower. This was a shower to welcome home a new little boy, who was so lucky [...]

Yesterday, my blog friend, Cocoa of Chocolate on my Cranium, wrote an inspired post that called out to me. I was thinking of skipping Tackle It Tuesday until I woke up this morning with her post on my mind. She spoke about “tackling” the rocks first. I found this picture and it fit perfectly with [...]

It’s National Follow Me Month (but apparently nobody told Blogger…..) I’m sure that most of not all of you are aware by now that blogger had a few problems today. I was saddened to find that within an hour this afternoon, I had lost 19 of my followers. After a little research, I discovered that [...]

Today’s Not Me Monday post is inspired by last night’s bedtime story. As I was reading to the kids last night, I saw myself in Little Critter. Sometimes I remember, and sometimes I just forget. This morning, I remembered to get breakfast for the kids…..but I forgot to eat some myself. I won’t forget lunch, [...]

Menu Panning time again! Here are the new recipes I’ve added this weekend: Crock Pot Chili and Baked Potatoes Ukranian Borshch Loaded Corn Chowder Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble Bars Mint Brownies Don’t worry. We won’t be eating the Mint Brownies for dinner. I’ll probably fill in with some simple pastas as well. For more recipe fun, [...]

I could have used this photo of Reese for I Heart Faces silly theme a few weeks ago…..but I saved it for the Black and White theme! Isn’t she such a goofy girl? Hop on over to I Heart Faces and check out the other amazing entries. And while you’re there, if you haven’t already [...]

It was hard again for me to narrow down my choices for I Heart Faces entries this week. Isn’t it always? The theme for this week is Black and White. I decided on this shot of a friend of mine. She is one of the most photogenic and naturally beautiful people I know, and NO–I [...]
